Lyrics
Broken Day Dreams
I looked at her face and what did I see
A smile from the land of broken daydreams
Your dolls left behind, clothes in a cart
Shattered illusions fragment your heart.
Daddy, where have you gone
Mommy is crying out on her own
Little girl blue chasing the moon
Daylight is breaking waiting for you
I looked at her face and what did I see
A smile from the land of broken daydreams
Your suddenly old and what has it cost
Your candle is dimmed your innocence lost
Daddy, where have you gone
Mommy is crying out on her own
Little girl blue chasing the moon
Daylight is breaking waiting for you
